Woo hoo! Stine has very kindly given me this award, saying:
‘Alison and Eleanorblog, because of it’s beautiful, beautiful pictures of Rockin’ British castles, manors and churches, and for the humour as well!’
Thanks Stine, I really appreciate it, and have much more to post about with never any shortage of castles! Of course, you’re welcome back anytime. 
Now, my 5 awards go to:
- Melissa, at Grossly Unimaginative because her blog always makes me smile (with her, people, not about her!)
- Kathryn at Art Blog as her paintings and her taste in music are always rockin’.
- Susan at Reading, Ranting and Raving… as I love reading her wry take on the world of writers. Oh and her romantic short story wasn’t bad the other day either.
- Webduck at Pentimento, a lovely friendly blogger with a beautiful garden, and a collection of great historical photos, oh and looks great as a furry animal. (You’ll just have to look at her blog to see what I mean…)
- Alianore at Edward II, a fabulous history blog! I have to keep in with Eleanor’s relatives you know!
There are many reasons I like to visit these bloggers, and many other blogs I read besides, but congratulations you 5!
Which Grand Duchess Would YOU Be?
What a nice surprise, Alison! Go on, you can admit it, sometimes you aren’t laughing with me, right?
Hehe. My lips are sealed Melissa.
Thanks! Now to pick a smiley . . .
You’re welcome Susan. I like a good smiley myself.
Thank you, Alison! How nice to be chosen! Now, hmmm, which smiley to choose?? Here we go:
Cheers! You would be horrified, i was singing along to Postman Pat as i was reading this, not so rockin now eh?
What a nice surprise! Your blog is one of my faves too, and I got a good laugh about me being a furry animal. I will have to tag some people now too.
You’re a sweetheart Alison!
Congrats! What a great feeling to know others love your blogging!
Thanks, I was pleased myself
